Why can't one of the site owners leave Blog comments?

Question

For some reason, despite the fact he's a site admin, one of my team (who happens to be my father) can't leave comments on blogs unless guest comments are turned on. We've tried different machines and different logins but for some reason no comments box appears for him unless guest comments are on. We've also logged other people in on the same machine and everything works fine for them. Cannot find anything on his account about blog posting permissions either. He's a co-admin and should be able to do anything.  Attached is a screenshot with him (John) logged in on my machine, and then one with me (Rob) logged in.  It wasn't refreshed at the time of pic hence the number of comments changing, but the issue still stands.  Please help!

Hello @Rob Waters,I've tried recreating the issue on my end with no success. Have you tried removing your father as the co-admin of the website and deleting him as a member and then adding him again?

Worked perfectly. My suspicion is that, when we were testing features, I blocked him and then unblocked him. I'm guessing that the unblock didn't restore all of his member privileges.Thanks for your help, Rafal.

No, but that's actually what we're thinking. Will report back...
